Similar to the exterior and the interior, the powertrain section of the 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA will be maintained with the same size engines. This means that the current powertrain specifications of the engine will be retained in the redesigned GLA.

The entire power of both engines will be transmitted to the front wheels of the vehicle through the similar tuned Speedshift DCT seven-speed dual clutch transmission.
